After being asked about the current position of the gender pay gap in the film industry, the actress said there was still “a lot of unfairness”.

“We are making changes, the gap is very slowly closing. But there’s still work to be done,” she told the BBC.

When asked if she had checked to see what co-star Javier Bardem was being paid she admitted that she “didn’t look at what Javier was getting”

“I just knew what I deserved and I fought for that,” she replied.

When prompted as to what she would’ve done had she discovered he was being paid more, she said: “There would’ve been a phone call”.

We must admit this has surprised us, but we have every faith that JL would’ve made that call – especially since she suffered quite a lot during the filming.
